Tetra Birthday, MADISON - Three
Three, age 67, was a long time resident of East Moorland, Madison WIS, passed away surrounded by her family on Friday, March 11, 2005. She was born on September 27, 1938 in the slums of Y'anthlai. She had numerous brothers and sisters and was given up to an orphanage at the age of 3. She attended the Reformation Unity School until she was 14, at which time the Taylor Revolution forced her and thousands other to flee the city. In 1955 she reached the shores of New York and underwent the Optimal Selection Process (OSP). A process, still used today, that focuses on size, color and pure luck. Consequently, Three struggled with self image and confidence issues for much of her life. She and two of her sisters were admitted and settled in Ithaca, New York where they worked in a state run laundry facility. In 1968 she obtained her GED and two years later she packed up and headed to Madison,Wisconsin and in 1981 Three fulfilled her lifelong dream of graduating from college with a degree in Independent Aquatic Transportation with a minor in Suspension.
Three especially enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, but also loved watching the changing seasons in southern Wisconsin. On Sunday afternoons, she was glued to the TV set cheering on her beloved Packers. She also loved to take care of her bipedal pets spend time with them.
A rare genetic disorder prevented her from working full time and eventually she and her sisters moved to a modest house on the east side. They were active participants in alternative and meditative healing. She firmly believed the bodies ability to heal itself without invasive medical techniques or pharmacology.
"It comes a shock to everyone that knew her, she was in perfect health and her favorite activity was to swim laps." She never married and insisted that her two sisters "Was all the family she ever needed." She is survived by her two sisters; One Tetra and Two Tetra, her long time friend Cory Feldman, and many friends.
Funeral services were held at 8.30 AM. on Friday, March 11, 2005, at her place of residence in Madison with close friend Hadjare officiating. She was honored with a one flush salute. A memorial fund has been established in her name and contributions can made to Hadjare. Three was a friend to everyone and will be missed by all.

no way was your gold fish 67 years old.
i'd feel bad if it turns out you were talking about a real person but, then again, you can't really expect much reverance when you're talking about a "one flush salute" - and, really, shouldn't someone who merits an obituary rate at least a three-flush?
oh, and - i hate to nitpick but the fourth graf [or paragraph, if you're not into the whole journalism lingo thang] has quotes but no one being quoted.
which people actually pull all the time in obituary's, which is fine when they're being considered as an advertisment but not if it's going to carry a byline.
which, true, this one does not. but just so you know...
Oh poor Three :(
I just can't believe it...I never even got to say goodbye...or hello... I wish I would have just taken the time *sniff*
Phil, that wasn't that nitpicky at all. In fact, when Tim got home he mentioned that it could have used proofreading. Well, if you know anything about me then you know I am terrible at proofreading -- especially my own stuff. And to be honest MOST of my proofreading gets done once I publish it...THEN see the mistake and then go back and fix it.
So...are you saying that you WOULD NOT have a quote on an obituary? I suppose I could have just taken the quotes off and the sentence would have been okay...is that right?
Thanks for the constructive crit ... I appreciate it.
